Hi there, so apparently it's true that the last 10% of making a game take as long as the first 90%.

Here's the state of things:

Sound and music tracks: 100% completed by the musician, and they're great.Upgrade of map graphics: 100% completedCreature portraits: not yet done, might hire another artist for that.Upgrade of interface graphics, item and spell icons: not yet doneSplash screens, world map graphic: not yet doneGameplay video and new screenshots: I'm planning to do that soon.Playtesting: I will need a few D&D or cRPG experts to do a serious playtest once the graphics are done.

That's all for now. Please stay tuned for new screenshots/videos.

No the demo will be separate from the main game. You can't create characters with the demo, you get a pre-made party and a small adventuring area. I will release it when the remaining graphics are completed.

And yes it's native windows - not DOS. You don't need Dosbox.

I also bid you fair fortune and to take all the time necessary to ensure that the game comes out of the gate strong and adept at what it is trying to accomplish, thus boosting the appeal to other gaming enthusiasts to play and purchase the title and develop a vibrant and varied community for the project.

One person I know mentioned that he'd been waiting for years for a game like this to come about once again to a degree that catches his eye such as this does.

I suspect you'd get along swimmingly with the maintainer of said website.

I've also probably watched the trailer something like 6 times now and find myself pondering as to just how good the game's soundtrack will wind up when all is said and done considering the samples in the trailer---some seemingly quite nice indeed.
